Steve, are you sure? SELECT MAX(tArticle.idArticle) as ID FROM tArticle
retrns the correct number. I used to use this for the latest PK on inserts until I found SELECT @@IDENTITY as ID FROM tArticle more and more functionality from SQLServer has (but no more) been added to MSAccess. It'll accept almost all joins, views, almost all SPROCs, some functions, etc, more than can be said for some open source db's. the concurrent connection/performance issue is stil very valid tho. I use JET/Access for tiny ($$$challenged) sites and any site I want to transport on a floppy and deploy with a minimum of fuss. Hell, if it wasn't for the DSN connection, it'd really be a copy'n' paste affair! >> Don't learn with access, you'll get bad habits. as opposed to switchhing between T-SQL and PL/SQL? cheers barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Steve Onnis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 25 June 2003 12:53 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Use of Access 2000 Here is an example SELECT MAX(TableID) AS TableID FROM TableName In access that will die.

Having said that - I do realise there are small systems that cant afford anything else. It really comes down to a "cost" thing. But mySQL or postgreSQL is still a better alternative to MS ACCESS for production systems. If you are only wanting to "play" then MS ACCESS is fine - but there are still some gotchas that can teach bad habits with MS ACCESS (just cant remember what they are now because I have not used it for web stuff for some time).
